Dev Refactor Skill

When to use

• User wants to refactor existing project to follow standards
• Legacy codebase needs modernization
• Project audit requested

Skip when

• Greenfield project → Use ring:planning-large-features or ring:planning-small-features instead
• Single file fix → Use ring:running-dev-cycle directly
• Frontend project → Use ring:planning-frontend-refactor

Analyzes existing backend codebase against Ring/Lerian standards and generates refactoring tasks for ring:running-dev-cycle.

You orchestrate. Agents analyze. NEVER run Bash/Grep/Read to analyze code directly — dispatch agents.
